So, having started a hairy discussion about web application usability over on the wp-hackers mailing list, I’ve been trying to find some UI guidlines written specifically for web applications. That is, web applications using w3 standards. Sure there are tons on web-design, and tons for software UI, but webapps are a totally different beast. You’re so limited to the controls set and methods available to you, while still trying to provide the functionality of a local piece of software. Oh the frustration… I find it hard to believe that a large entity hasn’t written some document tailored to just this type of design. If you know what I don’t, kindly fill me in.
